Ok, so to date I've reloaded for .45 acp, .223, .50 S&W and 45-70. For the .223 .50 S&W and .45-70 I've always lubed the cases with Hornady One-Shot.
So . . .today I started my first attempt at .308 and I have to say that I now understand why everyone stresses how "solid" the bench top is . . . it took alot more effort to resize those cases than anything I've done before. The brass I have is once fired LC 7.62 that was fed through an M-60.
The question I have is whether it's always significantly harder to full-length resize .308 brass or could it be caused by the fact that this brass was fed through an automatic weapon or ?? I would've thought that full-length resizing .45-70 would've been tougher than .308.
Just curious what your experiences are.
Have a good one,
Dave
